1. Real – world Case
In a large – scale oil refinery, the DS3800XAIC1C1C 6BA03 was integrated into the control system of a distillation column. The distillation column is a crucial unit in the refinery, used to separate crude oil into various fractions such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
One day, during normal operation, the sensors connected to the DS3800XAIC1C1C 6BA03 detected a sudden change in the temperature and pressure profiles within the distillation column. This could potentially indicate a problem with the feedstock quality, valve malfunctions, or an imbalance in the internal flow dynamics.
The DS3800XAIC1C1C 6BA03 immediately received the analog signals from the sensors. It quickly processed these signals, converting them into digital data for further analysis. Using pre – programmed algorithms, it compared the current values with the optimal operating parameters.
Based on the analysis, the DS3800XAIC1C1C 6BA03 sent control signals to the valves that regulated the flow of feedstock, reflux, and steam. It adjusted the valve positions to bring the temperature and pressure back to the normal range. Thanks to the timely and accurate response of the DS3800XAIC1C1C 6BA03, the distillation process was stabilized, and the quality of the refined products was maintained. This prevented potential production losses and ensured the safe and efficient operation of the refinery.
